In all, he played Picard in about ten Star Trek games and Professor X in about five X-Men games. This list covers the roles named by the sources below; it isn't every credit.

Oblivion: the emperor who dies in the first hour

His most remembered role is Emperor Uriel Septim VII in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The emperor is assassinated within the game's opening hour, yet the short role is what many players remember from it. When Bethesda released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered in 2025, it kept Stewart's original recordings. Bethesda Game Studios paid tribute on X on 29 October, in a post liked more than 46,000 times: "Rest in peace to Sir Patrick Stewart — an emperor, a captain, and an inspiration to us all." On r/gaming, the tribute to him as "voice of Emperor Uriel" passed 21,000 upvotes.

Star Trek: players held a vigil

He played Captain Picard in about ten Star Trek games, from A Final Unity in 1995 to Star Trek: Legacy in 2006. After his death, Star Trek Online players held public in-game vigils, lining up their starships in his honour and calling for a permanent memorial to Picard. Dexerto's post about the vigil passed 25,000 likes on X.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow he played Zobek, a knight of the Brotherhood of Light who guides the hero, Gabriel Belmont, and he narrated the story between chapters. He returned as Zobek in Lords of Shadow 2 in 2014.

Beyond Star Trek and X-Men

He also gave his voice to smaller games: the fantasy RPG Lands of Lore in 1993, where he played King Richard; the Dungeons & Dragons action game Demon Stone; the Polish war-time adventure My Memory of Us, which he narrated as the older version of its hero; and the VR puzzle game Shadow Point, as its narrator.
